Beautiful NLC display this morning was created by daveg
Hi Folks
There was a beautiful display of NLCs this morning bout 3:45. It was like a spider had wove its web across the sky. Also they seemed to stretch v high up - maybe 50 - 60 degrees has anyone seen them that high before. Note the jpg compressed the detail a bit too much but you get the general idea. Nikon8800 8 sec at f/6.6.

Should I ask where abouts in the image these so-called "NLCs" actually are...
ok, getting my coat, err, I mean sunglasses...

Not sure about the general case but I am much more likely to see them in the evening .... I don't do mornings
However, in the general case you raise an interesting question, anyone have any ideas?
